Chapter 576: Possible Betrayals and the Hard-to-Accept Horse Face
Savage Wilderness.
“Boom!”
A divine beast was killed by Ma Ling’er and Xu Yao working together.
After the battle ended, Jian Fei skillfully went forward to collect usable materials, while Chen Changsheng quietly stood aside, gazing into the distance.
Seeing this, Ma Ling’er approached and said, “Xiancha, what are you looking at?”
“I’m looking ahead.”
“Looking ahead?”
“Yes,” Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “I’m looking at what will happen several days from now.”
“The Sword Cultivator Conference is not just your beginning, but also the beginning for others.”
“I have a feeling that the Sword Cultivator Conference in a few days will be very exciting, and I am also very worried about you all.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Ling’er immediately said, “Ling’er will certainly do her best and live up to Xiancha’s expectations.”
“There’s no need to be so serious. Sometimes, winning or losing isn’t as important in my eyes.”
“What I truly worry about is your hearts.”
“To possess a resilient dao heart, you need to endure many trials. I cannot guarantee that you won’t be hurt during this process.”
“Xiancha, since Ling’er has decided to embark on this path, then I am not afraid of sacrifices.”
“No matter how much pain or hardship there is, I am not afraid!”
Glancing at the earnest Ma Ling’er, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“Even the heaviest wounds in the Crimson Realm can heal, but the wounds in the heart cannot.”
“You were born in an era of peace, so your hearts yearn for beauty.”
“The pursuit of beauty is often painful. I’m not sure if you can bear such pain.”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s words, Ma Ling’er was confused. When she wanted to ask, Chen Changsheng raised his hand to stop her.
“Alright, you’ll understand these things later. Quickly deal with the beast’s corpse; we still have to travel.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s order, although Ma Ling’er had doubts, she obediently went to work.
After Ma Ling’er left, Chen Changsheng muttered, “Horse Face, do you think these young ones can pass through the tribulation of love?”
Hearing this, the horse beside him spoke, “They are the disciples taught by Xiancha, and they are the dragons among men. Personal feelings will never become a burden to them.”
“Indeed, they will be dragons among men, but this has nothing to do with whether they can pass through the tribulation of love.”
“Since the time of the Emperor Huangtian, everyone I know has been in chaotic times.”
“People who have suffered through chaos still yearn for beauty, but they know that the world is cruel.”
“Because of this awareness, they have always remained clear-headed.”
“A clear mind can accomplish many things, but it cannot properly love someone, because love requires impulsiveness and being blinded by passion.”
“Why is the love between Thirteen and Meng Yu celebrated by the world? It’s because they can fall in love even when they are extremely clear-headed.”
Listening to Chen Changsheng’s words, Horse Face was somewhat confused.
He didn’t understand what Chen Changsheng meant.
“Horse Face is slow-witted, please enlighten me, Xiancha!”
Looking at the horse beside him, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly and said, “Assuming one day, these young ones meet someone they like.”
“And this person happens to be our enemy, which side do you think they would choose?”
At these words, Horse Face widened his eyes.
“Of course, they would stand with us!”
“It’s impossible for them to betray their race and family because of some ridiculous love.”
“If they were Thirteen, Tianxuan, or the Emperor Huangtian, I believe they wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“Warm Reminder: If you find this book enjoyable, please remember to add it to your favorites to avoid losing track of it next time.”
—
“However, they are Jian Fei, Ma Ling’er, and people born in peaceful times.”
“Peace is something they have inherently, so they don’t value it too much and won’t sacrifice anything for it.”
“You’ve also experienced different eras. Would anyone betray their beliefs in those chaotic times?”
Hearing this, Horse Face replied, “Of course not. Even if someone opposes their own race, it’s because they follow different paths.”
“In other words, they don’t approve of their race’s actions.”
“But absolutely no one would betray their race over some absurd trivial matters.”
“You’re right, but such situations have indeed occurred.”
“Ma Ling’er and the others were betrayed, clearly by spies from the Sword Qi Great Wall.”
“At first, I thought a powerful figure emerged from the Savage Wilderness. Later, I thought it might be some forces behind the scenes, such as the Jiang Family and the Land of Reincarnation.”
“After observing and understanding for several days, I found out this spy is from the Eight Desolates Nine Domains.”
“To put it bluntly, someone in the Heavenly Court has betrayed us.”
Upon hearing this, Horse Face was stunned, then stomped the ground with his hoof.
“No, how could this be possible?”
The tone in Horse Face’s voice carried anger and confusion. After digging up some soil with his hooves, he continued.
“Sir, I’m not flattering you intentionally.”
“The golden age you created is recognized by the whole world.”
“When Sir waged war against the Land of Reincarnation, perhaps some of the remaining people have different thoughts towards you, but they have never denied the world you built.”
“The same goes for the Land of Reincarnation and the Jiang Family. They hate you, but they don’t hate this world.”
“If they don’t hate this world, then who else has the right or reason to betray it?”
Looking at the anger in Horse Face’s eyes, Chen Changsheng smiled.
“There are only a few reasons, such as treating the Savage Wilderness too harshly, or falling in love with someone from the Savage Wilderness.”
“People born in peaceful times often develop absurd and laughable ideas in your eyes.”
“But these ideas are considered truths to them.”
After listening, Horse Face hesitated and said, “Sir is a wise man. Horse Face has never doubted your guesses and decisions.”
“But this time, I disagree with Sir’s words. I don’t believe there would be such a traitor.”
“Is that so?”
“What if we make a bet?”
“How do we bet?”
“If the situation at the Sword Qi Great Wall is as I described, you and Bull Head will serve as my mounts for five years.”
“If I’m wrong, I’ll give you both your freedom, and you can go anywhere in the world.”
“It’s a deal!”
After reaching an agreement with Horse Face, Chen Changsheng laughed and turned to leave.
Watching Chen Changsheng’s back, Horse Face had an indelible worry in his eyes, fearing that Chen Changsheng might be right.
Two thousand years after the Reincarnation War, everyone had come to genuinely love this world, including Bull Head and Horse Face.
The reason why Horse Face was so enthusiastic towards Chen Changsheng was simply to clear his sins and enjoy this world properly.
But if the situation Chen Changsheng described really occurred, it would mean that there was a problem with the world’s thinking, and someone wanted to destroy this world.
Thinking of this, Horse Face’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Xu Yao and the others in the distance.
People from peaceful times might betray, and they might also have this possibility.
If people with their status betrayed, the impact would be enormous.
“Don’t do this,” Horse Face coldly said, then followed Chen Changsheng’s footsteps.
